“Amanita bisporigera is what I believe she ate, which contains the Amanitin toxin that damages the liver cells," Dr. Danyal Ibrahim, a toxicologist at Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, said.

The next the day, Ullah took one of his sick family members to the hospital. Then he started feeling sick and called home to urge his wife and daughter to seek medical treatment.

"My dad called, like ‘Are you guys OK?’ I said, ‘No, mom and I are feeling so bad.' I didn't know what to do," Wafa said.

Wafa drove herself and her mother to the emergency room, where Dr. Ibrahim treated them with activated charcoal.

When he learned that the mushrooms were from the backyard, he became concerned and discovered that Wafa would need extra treatments

"Two family members, their symptoms were early. However, her dad and Wafa, they're symptoms were delayed, so I was very cautious," he said. "This is really an extreme case of vomiting and diarrhea, with dehydration."

Wafa's symptoms started getting worse and Dr. Ibrahim used a cocktail of four different drugs, including Silibinin, an experimental medication that he said was key in stopping liver damage.

“I was able to contact the principal investigator,” Ibrahim said, and they were able to send the medication.

The drug helped stop the toxins from attacking Wafa's liver and kidney, which could have killed her, Ibrahim said.

“We were able to avert her that outcome of liver failure, that ominous outcome, potential dying from it, and I think she will most likely do well,” Ibrahim said.

"We are very thankful to them. God bless them,” Ullah said.

Guloona still has stomach pain and suffered some liver damage, but said she is feeling much better now.

“Doctor Ibrahim has given me so much hope,” she said.

She should be able to start eating solid foods tomorrow and return home with her family on Thursday.

"The people here at Saint Francis Hospital really took care of us. They took care of us so well," Ullah said.
